Alex and Scott are old. They may or may not be wise. They do know football. They are certainly sarcastic. They've been talking about the Miami Dolphins since they met 25 years ago. For years, they've threatened to do a radio show. The threat is real people, or close enough. This podcast is all about…

    Ivy Insights

    I have been a dedicated listener of The Two Old Dolfans - Miami Dolphins podcast for close to five years now, and I believe it's high time for me to share my thoughts on this exceptional show. Unlike other dolphins podcasts out there, this podcast stands out due to its unique approach and refreshing perspective. The hosts of the show exhibit an abundance of common sense, something that is sadly lacking in many other sports podcasts these days. I particularly enjoy their occasional conversations about the former glory days of the dolphins franchise, as it gives me a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

    One of the best aspects of The Two Old Dolfans is their realistic take on their team. They do not shy away from acknowledging both the strengths and weaknesses of the Miami Dolphins. This level-headedness and honesty is truly admirable and sets them apart from other biased podcasts. It's refreshing to listen to hosts who are not afraid to criticize when necessary but also give credit where it's due. This balanced approach adds credibility to their analysis and makes for a more enjoyable listening experience.

    Furthermore, what sets this podcast apart is that they do not solely focus on the Miami Dolphins alone. While they are undoubtedly passionate Phins fans, they also venture into discussions about other teams in the league. This broader perspective helps provide a well-rounded view of the NFL as a whole and keeps listeners engaged even if they are not specifically fans of the Dolphins. It's evident that these two hosts genuinely watch football and have a deep understanding of the game beyond just their own team.

    On the downside, while I appreciate their knowledge and insights into Phins history, sometimes it feels like they dwell too much on past glories rather than focusing on present-day happenings. Although reminiscing about past successes can be fun, it would be great to see more emphasis on current events within the franchise and how they relate to ongoing developments in the NFL as a whole.

    In conclusion, The Two Old Dolfans - Miami Dolphins podcast is a breath of fresh air in the sports podcasting world. The hosts' common sense, realistic approach to their team, and genuine love for football make this show stand out from the rest. While there is room for improvement in terms of balancing historical conversations with present-day analysis, overall, this podcast is a must-listen for any Dolphins fan or football enthusiast looking for an intelligent discussion about the game we all love.

    We recorded this on black Monday following the blowout loss to the Patriots and watched the newswire for any changes right up to the time we hit stop. Soon after it came out that McDaniel was PART of the GM search team. Alex and Scott yelled at each other over the phone, so frustrated at the sheer stupidity of the organization we’ve followed and cheered for our entire lives. Before we get dramatic, we’ll wait and still see where the chips fall. Will this be the last episode of this podcast EVER? It very well might be. We’ll do something else in the future if it is. Listen in as we talk about who we like for the next Dolphins GM, and who we are looking at for the next head coach – assuming that McDoofus was gone. 2026 is looking bad friends.

    Yes… that Who song from the seventies was going through Scott’s head as Alex sat down this morning to record our new episode. We both feel this loss was the death knell for McDaniel, and it’s way past time. Why? Listen and we’ll regurgitate a few things we’ve said all along, as well as use other teams as examples to follow. In terms of building a winning franchise, a company of excellence, Stephen Ross has been an abject failure – but what can we do? Try again and hope better choices are made. Let’s lay it out again in clear simple language, “this” is what we need to attract a GM from a winning tree. “This” should be featured on his resume. “This” is what should be done about McDaniel.

    It took a few extra days to line things up this week, but Alex and Scott made it into the studio to record an enjoyable session. Where beating the Bills was a signature win, beating the Jets was an enjoyable ride. From the dismal beginning of the season, to ripping off four W’s in a row, ugly or not, this one was a pleasure. They get to dive into many positive aspects of how the Dolphins handled business this week. Can the Dolphins go to Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers? We think so! Listen and understand why. Will they?

    Scott and Alex strive to give you an honest evaluation of the Miami Dolphins every week in the regular season, with episodes in the offseason around Free Agency, changes in management, the draft, and training camp - pre season... This episode marks the end of their 7th season of the podcast. With a fair warning, both men are angry. They regularly strive to balance out negativity with positive aspects of the team, even after a loss, but always tell it like they see it. A lifetime of experience and a long familiarity with each other makes them a good listen, usually. Both feel that their favorite team is mis-managed at every level. Their hope was for the owner to realize that as fans, we want a championship, and that the management in place both at the GM position, as well as the head coaching position, lack the skills and experience to achieve that, Our hope was the Ross would realize it, and make changes so that even he may live to see a competitive, winning team. Our GM has made this the oldest team in the league, strapped by financially burdensome contracts to underperforming players, and critical weaknesses at key positions. Why Stephen Ross issued his statement is beyond our understanding, and has taken away the hope of fans who dig deeper, understand football, and truly care about winning. Mr Ross is a brilliant businessman, but every football decision he has ever made since taking ownership of our team has been bad. The sales of season tickets in October ensure that sellouts continue, he he can laugh all the way to the bank. Losing to the Jets adds insult to injury. The behavior of some players elevates our frustration (Hill). Alex and Scott discuss all this, and wether it is worth our time and expense to continue this podcast in 2025.

    Alex and Scott head into the studio the day after Thanksgiving to talk football. We hear it, we read it, we've talked about it. The Dolphins can't beat winning teams. The Dolphins can't win in big games. The Dolphins rarely win on national TV. The Dolphins can't win in the cold. With the recent exception of beating the Rams on the road on Monday night, they are all true. They will remain true until McDaniel and Tua and this team can prove otherwise. In the last podcast, we talked about the Green Bay game being the perfect opportunity to dispel it all. Not only did this team fail, but they were never really in the game.  Tragic. The Jets are up next, and the Jets are a broken awful team. Listen in for the analysis, the Jets prediction, and one cool thing. Maybe a swear word or two in this one.

    Alex and Scott are joined by Andy Korge for this episode. In preparation for a future push to bring on more remote guests, we used a new tool for this recording, so please bear with us for some minor audio issues.The Titans loss was a surprise to everyone. Alex made a list of mistakes made in the game, any one of which would have changed the final score. Some are on players, some are on coaches, (and we didn't address officiating) but all need to be fixed to make this team a contender. There are some players on the roster who could have an impact, but are currently unused. Why? Injuries have hurt the Dolphins, and Grier has work to do to find more contributors and depth. The Jets are coming to town, and suddenly this doesn't look like the lock it should be. What do these three predict?

    Scott and Alex are back in the Studio on a Victory Thursday this week to record another episode. Why Thursday? Well, on reason was HBO's Hard Knocks. Both wanted to get caught up and talk about it. A few minutes have passed since the game in Washington DC, but there are some fun things to look back on. AVG, Hill, Tua, Achane... Where are the less obvious points of the Phins dominant performance? It's December, and our Dolphins are the #1 seed, will they hold? What are they going to do to the Titans this week? Who benefits the most from Hard Knocks? Lot's of fun in a short episode. Tune in and share!

    Alex and Scott hit the studio on a Saturday to capture fresh thoughts on the Jets game. Just like the week before, there was a lot to like in the game, and some concerns too. First and foremost, this is a stomping of the hated Jets, so they celebrate that. The loss of Phillips is a sobering elephant in the room. What about Mike McDaniels game plane and play calling this week? What about Tua's protection of the ball? What about that MetLife field? More thoughts on the rest of the season and the Dolphins journey to the playoffs. There's an interesting tidbit about our next opponent, the Washington Commanders. How will our Dolphins fare in the nation's capitol? Join our conversation and listen in to this episode for all this and more.

    It's a victory Tuesday and the two old Dolfans are back in the studio to talk about the latest in Dolphins football. The Raiders game came out a W. What did they like/love from the game? What fills these two long time football guys with hope from this game? Don't drink the Kool-Aid too hard - there were some detractors that keep surfacing game after game that need to be addressed. Without some in-season improvement, well, our Fins could be a flash in the post-season pan. What are these things? What will the Dolphins do in NY for the first black Friday game in NFL History? We are pretty sure of how it will turn out. Listen in for answers to these questions and more.

    It's post Halloween weekend week, so, the title makes a little sense in a double entendre way. Scott and Jando (Alex is away on a business trip) get together to make this joyous podcast on a "victory Thursday" to talk about the Patriots game and the upcoming Chiefs matchup in Germany. Why does Scott mention Ted Lasso? Who shows class and who doesn't? What about the trade deadline that just passed? What did the young buck see with his younger eyes in that Pats game? Why is Scott pissed at Twitter / X ? What is the key to the game against the Chiefs (unfortunately no surprises here). Grit your teeth in anticipation for seeing a non-footballer every five minutes. At least an hour of great conversation in this one, don't miss it!

    Alex and Scott are in the studio on an angry Monday to talk about the Eagles game. Final score Dolphins 28, Eagles 24 - at least that SHOULD have been the score, if not for the refs, who acted like the mafia paid them off. Listen to our take on this. Instead the Dolphins head home with more injuries, a loss, and a game that fits the narrative of all the national sports media who hate Tua and our team. Some good things worthy of mentioning. Some other reasons, aside from the refs, that the Dolphins lost. There's a lot to talk about here. Plus, there's a must win game coming up next week that may not be the easy win we had predicted earlier. Listen in to get our experts opinions on all this and more.

    Alex and Scott and Andy and Jando and Eric and Jeff and MORE partied it up at Hard Rock stadium at an epic tailgate, then headed into the building to watch the Fins stomp on the hapless Panthers. Was it HOT? Were there beverages? Were we worried when the Panthers went up 14-0? What were we able to analyze from our seats. What did the stadium sound like on big plays?

    Alex and Scott felt the blow Buffalo dealt like any of you, all the way in SoCal. They recorded this episode with a message: It's not over. This is not the end. Amidst the drubbing, concerns about the play of the offensive line, and defense that had no answers to anything, there are still bright spots. Most of the numbers (except for the scoreboard) tell a different story? A certain linebacker that these two nicknamed after a band, well, how did he do in the loss? Where did the line really fail (you probably all know this) and just how bad was it? Why were there no answers from the mastermind DC? Listen in, there's good with the bad, and there's reasonable hope. Especially for the coming games.

    The Dolphins, for the first time in franchise history, put up a 70 burger on the Donkeys. Alex and Scott don't usually mock opponents, but the Donks clearly quit and deserve a little derision. Payton too. Amidst all the scoring, and some delicious turnovers, there's a lot to talk about.  Fans can feel on top of the world, because right now, the Dolphins are. The two old gurus celebrate with you for most of this episode, but aren't blind to a couple of glaring mistakes that could haunt this team when we face a real opponent, like next week in Buffalo. Be happy. Enjoy! This has never happened before and McDaniel is undeniably an offensive genius - but still flawed. Should we have gone for the scoring record? Will injuries haunt us in Buffalo? Listen in.
